Financial Results

Rental revenues increased $4.1 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 to $11.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to $4.9 million increase at our multifamily properties offset in part by a decrease of $0.7 million from the commercial properties. The increase in revenue from the multifamily properties is primarily due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022. Net operating income increased $5.1 million from net operating loss of $3.7 million for three months ended December 31, 2021 to net operating income of $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net operating income is primarily due to the $4.1 million increase in rental revenue as noted above and a decrease of $2.3 million in general administrative and advisory expenses offset in part by an increase of $1.9 million in property operating and depreciation expenses. The decrease in general administrative and advisory expenses is primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses and the increase in property and depreciation expenses is due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio.

Net income attributable to common shares increased $50.2 million from net loss of $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 to net income of $43.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to $70.2 million increase in gain on sale, remeasurement or write down of assets offset in part by a $16.4 million increase in our tax provision. The increase in gain on our sale or write down of assets and our tax provision is due to the remeasurement of the VAA Holdback Portfolio that was acquired in 2022.
